You just don't see many irrational liberals who are more interested in screaming and yelling and being rude and drawing attention to themselves these days. I assume that you're not a regular viewer. I assume if you were, you would know Fox News has several and you wouldn't view the hiring of another as a big deal. Me, I think Fox News is pretty fair and balanced compared to CNN and MSNBC.
The liberals that are left are in the news department, but, to my knowledge, all had departed the opinion and punditry parts of the organization. Having a POV as a straight journalist hardly counts.
Indeed, dishonest and biased reporting is rare. Such is suicidal for one's career. I'm guessing that most people are in journalism out of love for getting stories. Faking or plagiarizing stories is a good way of finding a new career -- perhaps washing dishes in a diner.

How many conservatives are you aware of who couldn't handle opinions and placed a liberal on ignore? Have I ever cowered to your opinion or a liberal group who shared your opinion or a rather large forum that was packed with liberals who shared the same negative opinions as you about conservatives?
Good for you, but you're atypical. To be honest, many liberals are also intolerant.
Some deeds do not merit tolerance. Saddam Hussein exemplified much that I found intolerable, beginning with gassing the Kurds. "Nothing wrong with him that a well-tied rope and a seven-foot drop wouldn't solve!", I said.
The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist but instead the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists -- Hannah Arendt.
